"By the way, Jason has been a great help. The testing would not have happened without him. Not only did he install MPI for me but emacs as well. He deserves a raise. Thanks again for all you have done. " -- Buff M. at SAIC

Compute Blades vs. Alternatives |
|
The Pinnacle Compute Blade system is unique, and can provide you the same power and performance of a standard 1U server but in half of the rack space. Competitors may provide a similar configuration in the forms of a "1U Twin" configuration, but with trade-offs in flexibility and servacibility. Below you'll find a comparisson of 1U servers, 1U twins, and Advanced Clustering's unique Compute Blade architecture.
Typical 1U server
- Only 1 system in 1U of rack space
- Half the density of available 2-in-1 systems (1U Twin or Compute Blades)
- Requires slide rails for easy removal from rack cabinet
1U Twin
- Twin system, 2 complete servers in 1U of rack space
- Nodes are fixed into the enclosure
- Must take both nodes down even if servicing only 1 node
- Single shared power supply
- Requires slide rails for easy removal from rack cabinet
Advanced Clustering's Pinnacle Compute Blades
- Individual removable nodes
- Nodes can run outside of housing for testing and serviceability
- Dedicated 80%+ efficient power supply per blade
- Mix and match CPU architectures (both AMD and Intel in the same 1U of space)
- Enclosure fix mounted into cabinet, no rails required for individual compute blades
